  "account": "The auditions for NBC's The Voice concluded on Tuesday night, with team leaders Kelly Clarkson, Adam Levine, Queen Latifah, and Riley Green finalizing their rosters. Each coach had two or one spots to fill, and Lillie Kolich, a 25-year-old New Mexico native, was the last contestant to perform. Kolich, known for her stripped-back performance of Sombr's \"Back to Friends,\" received enthusiastic support from all four coaches. Queen Latifah, the final coach to turn, said, \"If you're able to do that, you're able to do anything. You're able to win this show.\" Kolich, who is now based in Nashville and spends most of her time songwriting, impressed the coaches with her unique style and vocal range. Following the Blind Auditions, battle performances began, and team Green had to make an early decision, selecting sisters Ferryn and Brinkley over Brandy Neelly. The Voice is in its 30th season, airing Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on NBC, with episodes streaming the next day on Peacock.",
